A Vision for the Direction of Image Media in Japanese Art Education through the Study of American Media Arts Curriculum:—From the Practice of Pleasant Valley High School
[in Japanese]

<p>NCCAS updated the U.S National Standards and added Media Arts as part of the arts field in 2014. There is still a process of transition happening in applying this new national standard to local state standards in 2017. In this study, the author chose one reference high school to observe directly how media art classes are taught in an actual school. At the reference high school, the instructor pointed out that grant procurement and management to maintain media art classes is the most important and difficult issue he is facing. Local schools, including the reference school, are using grants such as CTE (Career Technical Education) to fund media art classes, so in that way media arts education is now leaning in to career and technical skill education. By definition, CTE is not just special skill education, but is considered as part of career education. It makes a point of connection to higher education through multiple skill development including those identified as 21<sup>st</sup> century skills. From this observation experience, it is clear that the instructor considered social matters carefully in image media, and used that basis to cultivate technical skills and general skills in students. This core value setting can be a very important inspiration for our image media studies in Japanese art education.</p>
